- Correction: "Warm bodies" refers to the number of unique people who attended for the entire weekend. "Turnstile" is the number of times someone walked through a (possibly metaphorical) turnstile, so it often counts people multiple times.
Evan finally watched Fight! Iczer One, one of Victoria's favorite 1980s OVAs.
Evan watched the first episode of Gundam: Thunderbolt, and he and Victoria marvel at an excellent first-person shot.
- Correction: The Gundam is called the FA-78 Full Armor Gundam. "Thunderbolt" is the name of the sector in space that the series takes place in.

Episode 23 – I Was Born in the Darkness Dec 11, 2015

This week Victoria and Evan learn the power of anime training via fanservice-y fitness series Anime De Training! Ex and the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga, and Evan tries out Samurai Champloo.

The famous manga artist Shigeru Mizuki (Gegege no Kitaro) passed away in November.
The whole Internet is angry about Final Fantasy VII Remake being released as three games, but Victoria is alright with it.
Teekyu cannot be stopped and Evan couldn't be happier.
Evan is watching the hip-hop/samurai movie crossover Samurai Champloo for the Reverse Thieves' Anime Secret Santa.
Victoria is learning a lot about physical fitness in more ways than one via Anime De Training! Ex.
She also tried to watch Deltora Quest, but got sidetracked by looking up what the character designs reminded her of. Anime Problems.

Episode 22 – Simba is Naruto Dec 08, 2015

In this inadvertently stationery-themed episode, Evan marvels at the impact of a pencil shortage in the anime industry and Victoria discusses the benefits of taking notes while watching anime. Plus the hosts chat about the Samurai Jack sequel, Mr. Osomatsu, and Cardcaptor Sakura. Show Notes

The Mitsubishi Pencil Company announced that they were discontinuing their colored pencils until animators demanded they bring them back.
Evan is tentatively excited about a sequel to Samurai Jack, but Victoria was never a big fan.
Mr. Osomatsu is sating Evan's appetite for abject violence in the name of comedy.
Evan is also watching some more Cardcaptor Sakura, and marveling over Sakura's many costumes.
Victoria's watching Bakemonogatari but she doesn't remember what any of her notes mean.

Episode 21 – Butts off to You Nov 20, 2015

It's a good day for good hips as Evan and Victoria discuss Space Adventure Cobra, the made-up Japanese holiday Good Hips Day, Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie, and the Monogatari series. Then it's question time, and this week our hosts get to answer TWO relationship advice questions! Show Notes

As Phase 1 of the "Library Expansion Project," Crunchyroll licensed Space Adventure Cobra and Cat's Eye. After we recorded we also got Yakitate!! Japan, Space Pirate Mito, Princess Knight, and Fantastic Detective Labyrinth!
Victoria wanted to talk about "Good Hips Day" and the fan art from the artist behind Chaika just to make Evan uncomfortable.
Evan saw Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie in theaters (it's the follow-up to Arise).
Victoria is watching the entire Monogatari series (and blogging about it)!
Both Evan and Victoria are keeping up with The Perfect Insider, which has recently hit some exciting highs AND some disappointing lows.

Episode 20 – Who's Your Favorite Matsu? Nov 14, 2015

This week Evan and Victoria talk about Young Black Jack's shirtless, patchwork body, the terrifying harem in Oreshura, online anime petitions, and the ongoing debate over who is Best Matsu. Plus answers to your questions, including our favorite villains and whether or not it's OK to call anime "cartoons." Show Notes

Bubuki Branki has a really silly name, but Evan's still interested in it since it's the 10th anniversary project from CG studio Sanzigen (Arpeggio, Wooser)
Oh no! Animator Expo Season 2 is expiring November 23, but Season 1 is available for a limited time before that.
Unfortunately the production committee in Japan has asked streaming sites (including Crunchyroll) to take down the parody-heavy first episode of Mr. Osomatsu. Victoria's been catching up to determine her favorite of the -matsu sextuplets.
Evan's a big original Black Jack fan, so he's been a little disappointed by Young Black Jack, but it's hilarious how much of a pretty-boy Black Jack is.
He's also watching and reviewing Noragami Aragoto, which started off with a really cool new arc.
Here's Victoria's Change.org petition to get Evan to watch Toradora.
Victoria is rewatching the odd, kind of scary-sounding harem series Oreshura.
Here's JMZP's awesome fanart of Victoria and Evan!

Episode 19 – My Curry is a Pilot Nov 09, 2015

This week Evan and Victoria discuss sad teenagers in The Anthem of the Heart, Chris Brown's manga-"inspired" album cover, Tales of Zestiria, and the best way to get into older anime. Show Notes

Chris Brown's latest album cover is a ripoff of a City Hunter cover.
Victoria hasn't been watching a lot of anime because she's been busy playing Tales of Zesteria (but it's OK because it's SUPER anime).
Evan dropped Beautiful Bones: Sakurako's Investigation because it's more simplistic than he had hoped.
He watched Lily C.A.T. instead, and it's just Alien: The Anime.
Evan also enjoyed The Anthem of the Heart, but was frustrated with its focus on the romantic plot.
The episode title (and the dumb joke we made about it) is a reference to Minmay's song "My Boyfriend is a Pilot" ("Watashi no Kare wa Pilot") from the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross.

Fans held a "Naruto Pride Parade" (as Victoria calls it) at New York Comic Con
Ron Howard and Imagine Entertainment are turning Tiger & Bunny into a live-action movie!
Both Evan and Victoria are enjoying the slow burn of The Perfect Insider.
One-Punch Man is a bit like Inferno Cop, so naturally Evan is in love with it.
